Maps for Office Latitude and Longitude

[JohnPlunkett1]

With Esri Maps for office.
What format does the Latitude and Longitude Values need to be in?

Is it Decimal Degrees? If so how many decimal places can I use?
or what is the best format?

Thanks

Hi John

That's correct. Longitude and Latitude requires that the coordinates are in Geographic reference system.

As to precision of the Longitude and Latitude values, well that depends on the availability of coordinate accuracy. Fewer decimals give a more generalized placement than a greater number of decimals.
